“…Due to the limited number of professionals who can deliver conventional therapeutic interventions, alternative approaches that enable treatment to be delivered at the community level by non-professionals are worth considering (Mendelhall et al, as cited in Kaminer & Eagle, 2017 ). Yoga is the most widely used complementary treatment for trauma survivors (Price et al, 2017 ; Rousseau & Cook-Cottone, 2018 ; Sullivan et al, 2018 ).…”

The prevalence of traumatic events in South Africa is considerably high due to a history of political violence and the ongoing cycle of interpersonal, community-based, and socioeconomic violence. While conventional therapeutic techniques have been found to support trauma survivors in the local context, alternative approaches that focus on the mind–body connection have become increasingly popular. However, studies reporting on the use of these approaches remain scarce. This study aimed to add to the body of knowledge on yoga as a non-conventional therapy to support trauma survivors and foster posttraumatic growth. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with a sample of seven Kundalini yoga practitioners who had been exposed to trauma. A thematic analysis confirmed that Kundalini yoga was beneficial in fostering posttraumatic growth. Overall, the study findings, evidence a pocket of success in relation to value of such an intervention within a low socio economic black South African context.

“…Literature [17] In a randomized controlled trial, participants were assigned to either a 10-week yoga program or a health education control group with the aim of understanding the personal experience of depression in a 10-week yoga program as well as the biological mechanisms under the positive influence of yogic breathing. Literature [18] first describes the pilot implementation of a traumatic teaching program in Kenya, Africa, by two yoga service providers, then explores the feasibility and acceptability of a positive thinking program for yoga teachers in the Nairobi, Kenya area, and finally confirms, based on the findings, that yoga and positive thinking practices are effective in reducing yoga students' stress and trauma. Literature [19] implemented a non-randomized controlled study in two German secondary schools to evaluate the potential impact of a weekly yoga session at 90-minute intervals over 10 weeks.…”

In this paper, according to the TOF method in the principle of Kinect V2.0 depth measurement, the Kinect data stream can be obtained, which can realize the real-time acquisition of the user’s yoga movement data. On the basis of the extraction of joint motion features, the position of each joint point in the model under the model coordinate system is calculated sequentially using the action redirection algorithm. For the intermittent problem of keyframes in the yoga action screen of the joints, it is necessary to optimize the analysis of yoga action recognition through the action keyframe interpolation method. Starting from the demand for sports yoga teaching, we determine the design scheme of a computer-aided yoga teaching system, realize the design of a computer-aided yoga teaching system based on the system development platform and programming program, and test the performance of the computer-aided yoga teaching system by using simulation analysis. The results show that the yoga movement redirection algorithm, when matching the data information of the same movement, the distance value is 1 to 2 orders of magnitude smaller compared to the matching distance between different yoga movement sequences, and the use of the joint angle value can find out the joints where the trainer’s movement is not up to the standard, and the yoga trainer can reasonably adjust the movement based on the similarity and the joint angle value given by the system to achieve the purpose of yoga training.

Ultra-Brief Crisis IPT-A Based Intervention for Suicidal Children and Adolescents (IPT-A-SCI) Pilot Study Results

In recent years, suicidal behaviors have shown substantial increase worldwide. This trend is also prominent in Israel and has led to a dramatic increase in mental health treatment demand resulting in long wait times and low treatment acceptance rate. To address the critical need in crisis intervention for children and adolescents at suicidal risk we developed an ultra-brief acute crisis intervention, based on Interpersonal Psychotherapy (IPT). IPT is an evidence-based intervention for various psychopathologies among different age groups. The current adaptation of IPT-A is comprised of five weekly sessions, followed by monthly follow-up caring email contacts to the patients and their parents, over a period of 3 months. This paper aims to review the theoretical foundation of this intervention, describe the research design, and present preliminary results of a pilot study. Preliminary Results from our samples of 26 adolescents indicate meaningful trends for both the suicidal ideation (SIQ) and depression (MFQ) outcome measures. Significant interaction was found concerning suicidal ideation but not for depression. Main limitations include small sample size and stratified controls. The treatment appears to be safe, feasible and acceptable and initial results show promising trends to support further study of the approach.
